Yo, yo, I wanna give a shout-out
to the world.
This is Wyclef, cold-chillin’
out here with my pina-colada.
Yeah, baby.
I’m in the islands, cold relaxin’.
Right about now the carnival’s
gonna change phases.
If you got your ticket, man,
you’re allowed to come with me.
Yo, for right now I’m gonna
chill in the beach,
check out the pretty girls
layin’ back.
You know how we do, playa yo.
I’m out here in the sun, baby,
it’s all good!

Si ou gin zorey, tande,
Si ou gin bouche, pale.
Si e pas ca, pays en li va coule.
Quand qu’ou yon bateau qui plein refijies,
Si nou pas cheche bon djie, encore !
Si ou gin zorey, tande,
Si ou gin bouche, pale.
Si e pas ca, pays nou libral coule.
Quand qu’ou yon bateau qui plein refijies,
Izrael cheche bon djie, tande !

Dix milles cercueils, gade toutes c’est ti-mounes.
Pe ap crie, mais yo pap resucite.
Manman rele, mais cadav, pas ka tande !
Zinglin dou passe, mwen tande (Blo ! Blo ! Blo! Blo !)

Si ou gin zorey, tande,
Si ou gin bouche, pale.
Si e pas ca, pays nou li val coule.
Quand qu’ou yon bateau qui plein refijies,
Haitiens ! cheche bon djie, encore!
Si ou gin zorey, tande,
Si ou gin bouche, pale.
Si e pas ca, pays nou libral coule.
Quand qu’ou yon bateau qui plein refijies,
Izrael cheche bon djie.

Mwen con yon Haitien.
Qui tap vend Marijuana.
Police te quinbel,
Li dit c’est poutet manman te gin cance ( li pas gin l’agent!)
Counya li nan prison, (pou combien temps?)
Lap palem de revolution (sans solutions!)
Mais police yo te passe,
Mwen te tande ( Blo! Blo! Blo! Blo! )

Si ou gin zorey, tande,
Si ou gin bouche, pale.
Si e pas ca, pays nou lipral coule.
Quand qu’ou yon bateau qui plein refijies,
Mysie! Suspend tire! Encore:
Si ou gin zorey, tande,
Si ou gin bouche, pale.
Si e pas ca, pays nou libral coule.
Quand qu’ou yon bateau qui plein refijies,
Haitiens cheche bon djie.

Depuis mwen petit mwen te con lit Genese,
Mwen boxe avec Satan quand coum boxe ak Djialese.
Mais gin de le! L’esprit mwen faible.
